Awake & Aware Bufo Alvarius -The Underground Secret

SPECIAL COURTYARD EDITION of AWAKE & AWARE O Cinema Wynwood
Featuring the award-winning film BUFO ALVARIUS -The Underground Secret, followed by a Q&A and an open forum discussion with Scott Olsen Ph.D., Director Filip Zaruba and Corey Chase. The event will also include an exhibition of visionary paintings by Alfredo Zagaceta, Mita Lozano and Mauro Reategui.

A radical testimony of the strongest known natural psychedelic, tryptamine 5-MeO-DMT produced by Bufo Alvarius, a toad of the Sonoran desert. The breathtaking audio-visual adventure is enhanced by immersive animations inspired by the psychoactive effects of this extraordinary substance. Fascinating stories of a group of Czech psychonauts are combined with personal insights of Stanislav Grof, a nestor of transpersonal psychology, and Octavio Rettig, a modern shaman who has facilitated ceremonial contact with Bufo Alvarius for thousands of volunteers from around the world. For many, the experience has been life-changing. Originally intended to simply document these experiences, the film evolved into an intense meditation on the nature of consciousness and being.
